Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 1 medium yellow onion peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 1/2 lb Small Yellow Gold Potatoes
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into large pieces
- 2 Tbsp cold water
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Season the chuck roast with the salt, pepper and dried thyme leaves.
- Brown the roast in the skillet. Cook it for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Then add in the onions, carrots and potatoes (leave the potatoes whole) to a crock pot. Then place the browned beef roast on top.
- Then add the minced garlic, beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the chuck roast is tender.
- Remove the roast from the crock pot and shred. Then remove the vegetables from the crock pot as well.
- Remove the broth from the crock pot and place in a saucepan. You can strain out any vegetables from the broth if needed. Heat the broth over medium high heat and bring it to a low boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch. Whisk this mixture into the saucepan. Continue to cook and whisk for 30-60 seconds until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the roast and vegetables topped with the gravy from the saucepan and topped with the fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes
- *Make sure to cut the carrots and onions into large pieces or they will get too soft in the crock pot.
- *You can cook this recipe on low or high but we prefer to cook this crock pot chuck roast recipe on low as the beef is more tender.
